The product, in the report: The item sells for $19.95 on the website of Top Swords, LLC. It is a samurai sword or “katana” known as the “Anime Reino De Rasos Charlotte Cuulhourne Sword,” SKU: SK908-405CA. According to Top Swords, LLC’s website, the Anime Reino De Rasos Charlotte Cuulhourne Sword “is seen carried by the Arrancar known as Charlotte Cuulhourne he’s part of Sosuke?s Army.” The sword has an overall length of forty-one inches (41”) and a blade length of twenty-seven inches (27”). The sword features a “440 stainless steel blade with a rose pattern cast metal guard and purple nylon cord wrap handle.” The sword comes with a high-gloss wooden sheath. As further enticement to prospective customers, the website boasts “It?s a sword dieing for your attention.”
On November 16, 2016, my client, 15 year-old [REDACTED], invited two friends to his home in [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] wanted to show off his “new sword.” The sword is known as the “Anime Reinos De Rasos Charlotte Cuulhourne Sword.” It measures 41 inches in length, and features a 440 stainless steel blade with a length of 27 inches. The sword was given to [REDACTED]’s aunt, [REDACTED], at an employee awards banquet in October, 2012. [REDACTED]’s boss, [REDACTED], purchased approximately 28 units of the sword from a company called Top Swords, LLC, headquartered in Dallas, Georgia. Having no use for a samurai sword, [REDACTED] gave it to her brother, [REDACTED]. The sword went into storage for approximately four years before resurfacing in the [REDACTED]s’ home last fall.
On the day in question, [REDACTED] and his friends took the sword outside and were taking turns attempting to chop plastic water bottles tossed into the air. [REDACTED] tossed a water bottle for his friend, fifteen year-old, [REDACTED], who took a mighty swing. As [REDACTED] swung the sword, the blade disengaged from the handle, flew as much as twenty feet through the air, and impaled [REDACTED] through the forehead. The incident was captured on cell phone video.
[REDACTED] was rushed by EMS to University of Louisville Hospital. He was diagnosed with a penetrating traumatic brain injury with brain compression, malignant edema, intraventricular hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage and bilateral anterior cerebral territory infarct. [REDACTED] was intubated and ventilated, underwent a bicoronal craniectomy, endured placement of an extraventricular drain, received a tracheostomy, had a PEG tube placed, and spent approximately six weeks in a coma before being discharged to a rehabilitation hospital. He underwent a second surgery yesterday to replace the top of his cranium which had been removed to allow for brain swelling. [REDACTED]’s medical expenses are now in excess of $1,000,000.00.
Investigation revealed that the sword in question was not a “full tang” sword, i.e., the blade did not extend through the handle, nor was it a “rat tail tang” sword in which the blade extends well into the handle but tapers substantially. The blade of this particular sword extended only 7 centimeters into the handle of the sword. Furthermore, the blade was not secured by bolts or rivets running through the handle and the blade, but by what appears to be rubber cement. The sword was clearly not intended as a battle sword but there is no way for anyone to know that. There are no warnings on the sword itself. There are no warnings on the packaging. There are no warnings on Top Swords, LLC’s website. The sword by design, manufacture, marketing and labeling is inherently dangerous and defective.
Additionally, my investigation has revealed that cheap samurai sword blade disengagements are not unheard of. The following is a YouTube link to a compilation of videos showing similar sword failures: https://youtu.be/Bh5H2Lw-CPs.
We are pursuing a product liability claim on [REDACTED]’s behalf but I believe immediate government intervention is necessary to prohibit the importation of swords--and there are many--such as the one that catastrophically injured my minor client. I am happy to provide additional documentation, photographs, etc. to assist the Consumer Product Safety Commission in any way I can.
